You're gonna love, love, love that little scoot! Other than the fact that you live in the same area as one of the best scooter parts and repair houses there is, the Stella has a very good reputation. My Vespa has a blown motor, and I'm tossed between a rebuild, or just buying a Stella engine. Although not a high priority at the moment, I will be glad when it's back on the road. 1977 Vespa Rally 200. It brought more smiles per mile than people should be allowed to have.:grin:
